My missus has had a strange phone call about an accident she had saying her sister who was passenger is entitled to claim off some money set aside by the insurance company. The thing is she hit a stationary car at about 5 mph and had no injures. It sounds like absolute bullshit but I can't find anything on the net similar. I'm not wrong in that the only way you'd claim is if it was for injury or loss of earnings etc am I? My girlfriend keeps telling the women on the phone there was no injuries but she's being really persistent and convincing, what's she trying to achieve? When questioned on what she gets out of it she said she gets paid by the insurance company for closing the cases which again sounds like bullshit to me

You can make any case for loss, not just physical injury. I would guess you would need to lay it on emotionally, can't sleep, keep crying, that type of poppycock.
I would tell them to do one.

its the reason car insurance is so high these days, companies specialise in claiming money from insurance for people that don't really need it.
sad thing is, most people now try for compensation because "everyone else is doing it"
another thing i think the government should control

ultimately the government are in control of it. think of the money they get from increased policy costs, tax from solicitor fees. the public are the downfall of their own society yet they continue to whinge about it all the time

She has passed her sisters number on for some reason, but as I've said there was no injures occurred or no losses, so why she is being so persistent I don't know. Only thing I can see is if she tries to convince her to lie!

Ambulance chasers have moved on from chasing ambulances and just try and convince everyone that compensation is rightfully their's, even though it isn't. They're just trying to make money out of other people's misfortune by telling these people that they can get compensation even though there's not actually anything to compensate them for.
They're just scams essentially, the victims in the end being the people who pay insurance.
Put simply they're the arsehole of working society.

When my mate got t-boned by some pillock jumping the lights his wife got major whiplash, but the only way she could get money for work loss was to sue her husband because she was the passenger and he was driving! Really doesn't make sense how the insurance company worked that one out!? :S

What for Mark? I don't get it, what would she actually be claiming for in this instance, my Mrs clipped a parked audi going into a parking spot, i'[m pretty sure she's coped with life since!

you can claim for anything really. car accidents can affect peoples social lives, sleep etc etc. psychological problems, not just physical.
i have an ongoing claim at the moment from 2 fucking women hitting the rear of my car, 11 months apart. women are retards.
